  • Your Internal Compass: Following The Body to Healing with NET

    "Your body is always looking out for you."


    In this episode of And How Does That Make You Feel?™, we venture into the transformative world of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) with Dr. Kim Makoi, DC, PhD, a leading expert in this body-based approach to resolving emotional stress. NET is grounded in fascinating science and research, which Dr. Makoi shares with us, covering everything from its origins and the guiding beliefs behind this practice, to its impact on mental and physical well-being. 


    As you listen, you may be shocked to discover how trauma and stress are stored in our tissues, often passed down through generations, and how these trapped emotions affect not only our physical health but also our mindset, behaviors, and even our success in areas like work or personal relationships. 


    A major highlight of our conversation is the dissection of the “Deep Brain," also known the Reptilian Brain, just one of our three brains that have lead some neuroscientists to believe we have very little free will at all. Dr. Makoi explains how NET surpasses our conscious brain, and taps into this deep cognition, uncovering and clearing any stressors that have manifested physically, emotionally, and mentally.


    To lead us out, Dr. Makoi provides a live demonstration of an NET session, allowing you to see firsthand what the process looks like as he guides me through the steps of uncovering and addressing resistance. 


    If you're curious about the intersection of emotional health, the body, and the subconscious mind, this episode offers invaluable insights.

  • Understanding ADHD with Dr. Gina: Symptoms, Stigmas, & Functions

    “But doesn’t everyone have a little ADHD?”

    Whether you’re the person who has had this thought or the person who recoils at the utterance of this statement, this discussion with Dr. Gina, adult psychiatrist, will give you new insight on the intricate functions of ADHD.

As a psychiatrist, she addresses some common fears about seeking psychiatric care, explaining in her practice, it’s about more than just medication. Dr. Gina demystifies the mental health treatment process and emphasizes the importance of normalizing therapy and psychiatric care.
    In this powerful conversation, we also explore the intersection of faith and mental health, and how Dr. Gina navigates these conversations in faith-based communities, particularly within the Black community.
